TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Dept. of Surprises: The conservative Not the Bee casts a skeptical eye at Sen. Mitch “MIA” McConnell’s shaky return to Congress this week in a transport chair and suggests it might be a case of elder abuse.  “If someone is struggling to perform the responsibilities of an enormously demanding public office, the compassionate response isn't to figure out how to keep him in the chair and manage around his limitations,” argued the Bee’s Peter Heck. “It's to ask what is actually best for him, and whether continuing in that position is best for the country too”...Fox News calls Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever’s guard, the WNBA’s most sane player.  And she’s applauded by Fox for supporting Sydney Sweeney’s saucy near-naked gambling ad which has been criticized for sexualizing women....Weekend watch: Since it’s the second week of the professional football season, I’m recommending the 78-minute Netflix documentary Untold: The Testimony of Vince Young.  The program tells the all-too-familiar story of a phenomenal college athlete – in this case, University of Texas QB Vince Young – who went pro in the aughts with some early success only to quickly flame out after drowning in too much booze and adulation. It’s an emotional, compelling story that will grip any football fan. Weekend Whiff: The Daily Wire’s latest feature film, Run, Hide, Fight: Infidels is an uneven piece of political propaganda masquerading as an action film. It’s about Muslim terrorists who invade a woke college campus and take hostages.  Here’s what I wrote about it for MS NOW.  Available on the Wire’s streaming platform. Worth noting: the  American Spectator called it “a fun action movie”....In observance of the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, there won’t be a newsletter Monday. Back on Tuesday...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting (and fasting). Howard


Today's Headlines From the Right

Give Us an AI Monopoly or Everyone Dies

You don’t need to be a super smart A.I. machine to know that large corporations love government regulation. Compliance is a fixed cost for them, but often an insuperable barrier to new entrants. Regulations allow the incumbents to maintain their market dominance by blocking up-and-coming rivals.

Protect Election Integrity, Not AI Oligarchs

Activating the president’s low-propensity voters may be harder than in years past.

Don’t Trust the Polls, Republicans Will Outperform All of Them

source: Townhall

By Kurt Schlichter: People believe I'm crazy for thinking Republicans will have 52-55 Senate seats after the midterms, even though polling suggests a very different result. The challenge Republicans face is getting people who don't always vote out to the polls. With all the money that is about to be spent on these races, I think we'll be able to remedy that problem.

Trump Takes a Wrecking Ball to Biden’s Punishing Regulations on Boaters, Hunters and Fishermen

source: RedState

Both EOs nuked plenty of punitive rules and regulations thrown down by the climate-obsessed, regular-people-last Biden administration.

The “Infidels” Scene That Everyone Is Talking About

Almost everyone agrees that one of the craziest scenes involves two students: a gay man, Bruce, and a blue-haired activist named Farrah, who find out the consequences of siding with the terrorists when push comes to shove. Literally.

Are we ready for the sequel?

Sydney Sweeney Has Everyone Remembering What a Woman Is

source: Victory Girls

All it took was Sydney Sweeney taking off most of her clothes for a Novig ad, and suddenly female athletes and their defenders were everywhere reminding us, quite emphatically, “this is what women in sports look like.” Women. In sports. Actual women. Glad we got that cleared up.
